MAC Address 
¾
: Is firmed into switch in the manufacturing process; it is 
sole and unchangeable.
DHCP Client 
¾
: Indicates whether the DHCP function is enabled. If DHCP 
client is enabled, the switch will obtain the IP address, netmask and default 
gateway from the DHCP server automatically; otherwise, these three items 
should be congured manually.
IP Address 
¾
: Is necessary for switch management. The configuration of 
switch IP address must be compliant with the subnet layout. 
Default Gateway 
¾
: Serves as the default destination when a packet whose 
destination IP address is not within the switch’s subnet is to be forwarded.
 Notice:
1)  When DHCP client is enabled, the IP parameters are obtained 
automatically from the DHCP server, so the “IP Address”, “Netmask” and 
“Default Gateway” elds are disabled. These parameters can be queried 
on the DHCP server. 
2)  The initial state of DHCP client is disabled and the initial IP address is 
192.168.0.1.
